48. Reckless waves test the water
Three days passed in a flash.
Xia Ji was wearing a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, holding a large dark halberd in his right hand, and four hundred and eight prayer beads wrapped around his left hand, standing on the snow-covered city wall of the east gate.
Xia Xiaosu was holding a dagger in his arms, wearing a rosary in his hand, wrapped in a dark color dress, holding a white plum oil paper umbrella, standing on his side in the snowy day, beside the Nine Emperor Daughters, Hu Xian'er was wrapped in a cloak and stood quietly, she had already returned.
The brother and sister glanced at each other, and their expressions were extremely calm.
Suddenly...
The peace of the imperial city was shattered.
Even from a distance, you can feel the earth shaking, as if there is a thunderbolt approaching the ground in the distance.
The mighty iron horsemen came from afar, and the banners danced "Shang", "Nangong"...
The city captain guarding the city had already gotten the news, and cheered excitedly at this time, "It's General Nangong, General Nangong is here!"
"Open the gates, open the gates!"
"Welcome General Nangong!"
It seems that when the war is over, and the soldiers of the Son of Heaven return to the imperial city, all the gloom will be expelled, and the refugees will no longer starve to death, no longer die of disease, everyone will have food, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, and the imperial city will return to the way it was before the war, and everything is getting better.
"General Nangong!"
"Your Majesty is coming back!"
"Great, really good!!"
There seemed to be a rehearsed "populace" who began to cheer.
Before long, the general wearing a golden winged iron helmet led the army to appear under the city, Nangong Hesheng was extremely burly, grabbed a long-handled machete in his hand, shook suddenly, and raised his voice: "Please open the city gate with His Royal Highness the Seven!!"
Xia Ji said: "Let the 30,000 army retreat for thirty miles, and General Nangong can bring a few henchmen into the city." ”
Nangong smiled and said: "I was ordered by the emperor to lead the troops into the city to stabilize the hearts of the people, but His Royal Highness is disrespectful to the decree, does His Highness want to rebel?"
He looked at the soldiers standing on the city wall again, and suddenly shouted with luck: "You also want to accompany Your Highness in rebellion?
The sound spread out into the city...
The "people" began to shout again.
"The Son of Heaven is benevolent, but the Seven Princes are disrespectful?"
"This is simply disloyalty and unfilial piety. ”
"Everyone open the city gate, Your Majesty has sent General Nangong Heda back, and our good days are coming. ”
Under the instigation of people with hearts, these voices were transmitted in the streets and alleys, and the source could not be found or touched, but the more they spread, the shouts became higher and higher.
Nangong He laughed and said: "Your Highness the Seventh, you have only been defending the city for a long time, this people's heart is lost, open the city gate quickly, what can you do alone? Could it be that you have defeated a few foreign races, and you feel that you are invincible?" Hahahaha!"
Xia Ji stared at the 30,000 army, this army was majestic in iron armor, like a black cloud covering the city, the black cloud overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, looking at him, he suddenly showed a strange color.
Seem... It's not very strong, why don't you go down and take a look?
Before the confrontation with the ghost side, it was with the ghost general and the frost giant, and then although it was said that it was a fight with the monks, but in fact, it was a confrontation with the eight-zhang golden-bodied Arhat, as for the impact of the array, I really haven't done it, and now I am wearing magic armor, holding a black halberd, and I have four hundred and eight prayer beads, fully equipped, much stronger than when I was in the Leiyin Temple, no matter how bad it is, I can get out of the whole body.
It's just that... They all said that the strength of one person could not oppose an army, but that was in the case of a Xuan Array, and the Xuan Array was obviously a very rare thing, and this Nangong He didn't look like it didn't look like it existed.
Or... Let's see?
If you don't try it, how do you know which is stronger or weaker than the power of one person or the strength of one army?
As soon as this idea was born, it was out of control.
He simulated it again in his mind, and found that he was tired at most, but it didn't look like he could be killed, the other party might have a magic weapon, but he didn't have it?
So, he glanced at the Nine Emperor Maidens beside him.
Xia Xiaosu's eyes skimmed the direction of the city, where there was a sound of mobs making noise, she suddenly nodded to her brother, indicating that things were in order here, no problem.
Xia Ji said: "I'll go and try it." ”
Xia Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Brother, there are only eight hundred dead soldiers who can charge with you, and these dead soldiers are now stuck at the key point and carrying out the task." ”
Xia Ji said: "I'll try it alone." ”
"Huh?"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xia Xiaosu to speak again, and looked at the city.
Under the city, the general wearing a winged iron helmet was still laughing: "Your Highness the Seventh, if I were you, I would definitely open the city gate at this time, after all, you are the emperor's son, although you have done something wrong, although you are cruel and arrogant, but the emperor is magnanimous, as long as you bear the guilt, then you may not be guilty of the past, why should you?"
Open the city gate quickly, you have no available soldiers in this city, there will be no soldiers, you are alone, if you were not the prince, I would have ordered the siege of the city a long time ago, and this city gate is not yet broken?"
Xia Ji looked at him, suddenly flipped over, and jumped directly from the city, like a pitch-black meteor mixed with dead air.
The ground is shaking.
The cracked texture spread out from beneath his feet as he fell, like a giant spider's web.
The smoke and dust in the central pit dissipated, revealing Xia Ji's appearance, and as soon as he raised his head, his black hair danced wildly in the snow.
But a pair of eyes are calm and almost Buddha.
With a wave of his right hand, the black halberd of Zhangba seemed to feel the excitement of its master, and the black demonic qi was no longer hidden, swirling like a snake.
With a wave of his left hand, four hundred and eight prayer beads faintly came from the sound of Sanskrit singing Buddha, and faintly, hundreds of swastikas wandered and moved, like a golden dragon winding and circling, but there was a five-finger cage bound to the big hand, only revealing the dragon pupils full of divine power staring quietly into the distance.
Xia Ji said lightly: "General Nangong, you and I have a competition?"
Nangong Yiyi saw this way of appearance, and suddenly lost all interest in heads-up, he rode back into the military formation, a heavy shield wall was suddenly erected, sharp spears appeared between the walls, and then there were hurried footsteps, the soldiers with crossbows and longbows were already in place, and then the cavalry in iron armor.
Nangong Hezhi Army obviously has a set, this army formation changes very quickly, and in an instant, it becomes an iron bucket, like a steel monster standing in the wind and snow, which cannot be broken.
Standing in the middle of the army, he immediately felt safe, so he laughed and said, "Your Highness the Seventh, I know that you are extremely brave, but so what? I advise you not to make senseless resistance. Otherwise, the emperor also gave me an order. ”
"What order?"
"Whoever refuses to open the city gate will be killed!"
As soon as he blurted out the word "pardon", he saw the prince on the opposite side walking towards him, Nangong He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, so he sneered: "Your Highness is arrogant, then you will eat the consequences!"
Whoosh whoosh !!
Countless sounds of the machine bracket pulled, the arrows broke out of the crossbow, and the already gloomy sky suddenly "floated" a black cloud, which shrouded the prince who did not know the height of the sky, and the arrows did not stop, and several consecutive shots.
Xia Ji looked up at the rain, saluted with his left hand, and the black Buddha light rose with it, and the three-foot Ming Wang Fa Xiang broke out of his body, and his whole person doubled, reaching a height of nearly three meters.
Ding Ding Ding Ding!!
One arrow after another fell wildly on this Ming King's Dharma, but it struck on an extremely hard substance, let alone breaking, and it couldn't even leave a trace.
Xia Ji felt the speed at which his true qi was being consumed, and then discovered...
Consumption is extremely low.
After all, it was the first time he tried to defeat ten thousand with one person, but he still held due caution and provoked: "Is it just such a little power?"
In the formation, a cold color flashed in Nangong He's eyes, and then he suddenly took out a black nail, clenched it, closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth, and then his pupils suddenly widened, and his spirit climbed to the peak, and the nail was suddenly activated, turning into a black light and shooting towards Xia Ji.
Xia Ji saw this black light.
He could feel that it was a magic weapon.
Sure enough, there is a magic weapon.
He suddenly became serious, and nine scorching suns broke through his body, surrounding him, turning into a second layer of protection.
The four hundred and eight prayer beads wrapped around Xia Ji's left hand suddenly disappeared, and the vast Zen spirit burst out like a volcano, and the prayer beads disappeared one after another, becoming a point of his left palm that was extremely dazzling, like a golden mang.
With the launch of his left hand, this golden mangs expanded rapidly, and when the black light swept in front of him, this golden mangs just turned into a condensed golden Buddha palm that was ten zhang long.
The Buddha's palm slammed into the black light.
In an instant, the black light vanished...
The black nail was swept through by the powerful spiritual force, and the spirit in it also crashed into the sun and moon like fireflies, how could it compete for glory?
As a result, the black light was instantly submerged, losing all the characteristics of the magic weapon, falling from mid-air, and becoming an ordinary nail.
And this golden giant Buddha's hand is castrated, expanding unabated, and when it moves forward rapidly,
Expanded into fifteen zhang,
Twenty zhang,
By the time he reached the first soldier, he had already become a huge hand of thirty feet.
The giant hand slapped it directly, and this shot directly slapped two or three hundred soldiers who were standing in a dense position, and these soldiers all fell down at once, and their shield weapons fell a drop in ping-pong.
The soldiers were suppressed by the Buddha's hand and could not move.
Xia Ji's left palm pressed lightly, and the Buddha's hand also pressed down for another half a minute.
The soldiers didn't even say a word, they just stood still and became sculptures, and then they were blown by the cold wind, and they were wiped out in the snow.
